Merc's~


Those moonlit drives..
confessions, transgressions,
miles
of sun and wind,
gossip at the pumps,
swerves and bumps,
it's all how
you shift the gears..
Destination
made moments,
motor-hum-lullaby,
chasing stars,
and memory glow,

Mercury rising..

Left for dead
in the weeds

Sky...Loved the ending of this. At first I thought it was about the planet, then figured out it was about a Mercury car.
Thanks for sharing...Paul

Sorry the pic didn't work.  I supposed there's something to the fact there were two in it that intrigued me.  Funny how good writing can  lend itself to the imagination.  I see so much more than cars in this.

A very soft take on something that might otherwise be considered an unpleasant scene. Lovely as usual.

You got my imagination going Sky … I was picturing a bit of a Thelma and Louise nod as I read … much enjoyed.

Best wishes,

Thanks Temptress, I had posted this with a
pic in the past, of 2 old mercury cars
abandoned & almost completely covered in weeds & brush, couldn't get pic to work here though. Anyway..just a little tale of those
2 junkers..metaphors can be taken any where
the reader likes.

by the pic of 2 old mercury cars buried in
weeds & brush, but that wasn't meant to be.
I do Like your thoughts on 'Thelma & Louise' though.

Thanks for the read
